Problem: The client is unable to translate search input fields on their website because the settings are locked by a WPML configuration file. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, it indicates that the strings you are trying to translate are already registered and available for translation in WPML. We recommend checking the WPML → String Translation section directly, rather than searching in the Admin Texts Translation section. If you need further assistance, please visit our support forum at WPML Support Forum.
